How Medusa and Winter Wyvern perform as teammates in Dota 2 7.41e, from ranked matches.
In Dota 2 7.41e, Medusa and Winter Wyvern win 45.36% of ranked matches when playing on the same team, over 1,841 matches.
Fighting into this pair can be confusing for the enemy. Winter Wyvern will land a big Winter's Curse, and it seems like the perfect setup for Medusa to unload. The problem is that the cursed target is immune to Medusa's attacks, so her Split Shot damage on the main focus is completely wasted. Even a well-placed Stone Gaze can't capitalize on the clumped enemies because she can't hurt the one being hit. While Cold Embrace is a decent tool for saving a focused Medusa, it also stops her from dealing damage at a critical moment. The two heroes want to control a teamfight in different ways, and their ultimates often work against each other's goals.
